क्षयरोगाच्या जीवाणूंच्या बाह्य आवरणात सुप्तावस्थेत झालेल्या बदलांमुळे ते अँटीबायोटिक्स पासून बचाव करून दीर्घकाळ जिवंत राहू शकतात असे संशोधकांना दिसून आले.
‘ಸಗಣಿ’ ಜೀರುಂಡೆಗಳು ಆಕರ್ಷಕ ಜೀವಿಗಳು. ಇವು ಪ್ರಾಣಿಗಳ ಸಗಣಿಗಳನ್ನು ಆಹಾರವಾಗಿ ಸೇವಿಸುತ್ತವೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅದರಿಂದ ಅವುಗಳ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪೋಷಕಾಂಶಗಳನ್ನು ಪಡೆಯುತ್ತವೆ. ಈ ಸಣ್ಣ ಜೀರುಂಡೆಗಳು, ಸಗಣಿಯನ್ನು ತಿನ್ನುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಮಣ್ಣಿನ ರಚನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಮಣ್ಣಿನ ಫಲವತ್ತತೆಯನ್ನು ಸುಧಾರಿಸುತ್ತವೆ.
In India, one woman dies of cervical cancer every 8 minutes, and for every two women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, one succumbs to it. In 2018, all over the country, 7,84,821 people lost their lives to cancer. Numerous scientific research is underway to discover new and improved drugs for cancer. Chemotherapy, where anti-cancer drugs are administered to kill cancerous cells, is one of the traditional and most successful treatment methods. In a recent study, Dr Sumit Ghosh, from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, discusses cisplatin, the first-ever metal-based drug used in chemotherapy.

In a recent study, scientists from the Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata, have found a new species of earth-boring dung beetle in the Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh during one of their field expeditions. Named after the district it was discovered in, Enoplotrupes tawangensis belongs to the family Geotrupidae.
Lectures on Probability and Stochastic processes (LPS), an annual workshop for early-career young researchers in India, begins in the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) Delhi today. The workshop, in its fourteenth year, focuses on the latest advancements in the field of Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.
Since 2012, six bridges have collapsed in Mumbai, killing 28 people and injuring hundreds. Often, news of flyovers and pedestrian bridges tumbling down have made it to the headlines across the country. Although durable materials like steel and concrete are used in today’s structures, poor quality of construction and lack of maintenance are often blamed for such catastrophes. Contrast this with the rock-solid centuries-old root bridges found in Meghalaya—many as old as 250 years and still growing strong—built without modern tools or design. Could the structure of these bridges unravel architectural clues for urban construction? In a recent study, researchers from Germany and the USA have tried to understand the morphology and structure of these root bridges, built out of the aerial roots of strangler figs, and that have endured floods, earthquakes, landslides and fires.
Our genetic material is a big molecule of DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid, whose structure is a double-stranded wound-up helix. It contains specific instructions that run a living cell, and these instructions are written on the strands. When cells divide, the DNA replicates too.
ಗೆದ್ದಲುಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಸಂಘಟನೆ, ವಾಸ್ತುಶಿಲ್ಪ ವಿನ್ಯಾಸ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯಗಳಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕುಖ್ಯಾತವಾಗಿ ಕೀಟಗಳಾಗಿ ಹೆಸರುವಾಸಿ. ಆದಾಗ್ಯೂ, ಈ ವರೆಗೆ ವರ್ಣಿಸಲಾದ ಎಲ್ಲ ಪ್ರಭೇದಗಳು ಹಾನಿ ಉಂಟು ಮಾಡುವ ವರ್ಗಕ್ಕೆ ಸೇರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
தற்போது பரவலாக இருக்கும் அலோபதி எனும் நவீன மருத்துவம் 19 ஆம் நூற்றாண்டின் தொடக்கத்திருந்து தான் பரவலாகி வந்தது. இதற்கு முன்னர், இந்தியா உட்பட பல ஆசிய நாடுகளில் பாரம்பரிய மருத்துவ முறைகளே வழக்கத்தில் இருந்தன. தனியாக பிரிக்கப்பட்ட வேதியல் மூலக்கூறுகளைக் கொண்டு நோயின் அறிகுறிகளுக்கேற்ப சிகச்சைகள் செய்வதே அலோபதி மருத்துவ முறை.
Banana, a nutritionally-rich, delicious fruit, is a widely-cultivated crop across the world and is a staple diet of people living in parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Due to pests and diseases, only 13% of the global production is traded, and often, farmers in India experience severe loss due to fusarium wilt or Panama disease. A novel innovation now aims to change the fortunes of banana growers by helping them detect diseases and pests with their smartphone. In a recent study, researchers from the USA, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Ethiopia and India have developed a banana pest detection app powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
